ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan thought pie ambushes would be a fun addition to training camp. He was certain it was a good idea after taking four of them to the face, and several media members got splattered, too.

Finnegan was in mid-answer during an interview after practice Friday when defensive end Chris Long and cornerback Trumaine Johnson pounced. A third teammate videotaped it and quickly threw it on Twitter.

Finnegan took the blame for the counter-attack, joked that the Rams equipment manager would handle dry cleaning, cleared away some of the ooze and then went back to answering questions. He joked it was "appropriate" that media experience the fun, too.
